A controversial rule restricting speech about Israel was dropped after artists abandoned festival lineups in Germany’s techno mecca.
How the turntable
Good news for free speech
TIL criticizing a government is exactly the same as being racist towards its whole nation.
There is a fine line, however, restricting the ability to criticize genocide is not a good thing— unless people consider Palestinians as subhuman, subanimal, which we acknowledge some do.
Genocide is what Hamas wants to do.
And no i don’t think Israel did nothing wrong, its not apartheid however.
I don’t think you are making anyone more empathetic towards your goal of killing civilians so you cna have even more stolen land.
Honestly, by now I think YOU can be blamed for anti semitism. By being a literal asswipe of a combo of fake religion, inbreeding and TERROR.
Im definitely not in favor of ho Israel does it but criticism of that was never forbidden, forbidden was to “question” Israels right to exist as a country. And doing that is indeed antisemitism
Oh and im anti theist in general. I want to abolish all religions because you can see what they do.
Assholes. Its not criticism its terrorism support! Nobody cares about these “artists”
Cookie respect agrees with cookie master? Do you have a cookie monster sock puppet as well?
Even if you believe Israel to be completely justified in everything they do, there should never be a blanket ban on criticizing the methods of a country at war.
The ban wasn’t on criticism it was on their blunt antisemitism and terrorism support. There has been lost of criticism in Germany about Israels methods.
Sure, it was, at least according to the article. Emphasis mine:
which explicitly forbids any speech that “questions Israel’s right to exist” or criticizes the country’s occupation of Palestinian land.
